What people are saying:

“Our people need new prayers from our first tongues. Nueva Cuenta shows that a soul in its lucid wandering is both the presentation of mathematical brilliance and visceral mystery; that the poet is the incarnation in a circle of instructors who crafts reminders that origin is future and every line of our story is food for beauty and resistance. Here is a song to take with you on our fight for liberation; to take with us on all of our returns to earth and essence. Be fit for the run … rise en masse.”

– Tongo Eisen-Martin, author of someone’s dead already (2015)

“In Freddy Gutierrez’s poetry, language skips and repeats like the past, in all its disastrous beauty, in order to sing a new future into being. He sings for himself and always others. In Nueva Cuenta, a song of the land emerges, the story of European arrivals and indigenous resistance, the particularity of plants, the pain of history, the possibility of recovery, and the dream of a world that could be otherwise.”

– Stephanie Young, author of Telling the Future Off (2005), Picture Palace (2008), and Ursula or University (2013)
